One Direction’s Next Album Will Be “A Little More Edgy”

One Direction is famously known for putting out an album a year (they’ve been around since 2010 and have three albums under their belt), so it makes sense that the fivesome’s already putting together their fourth LP. In an interview on The Today Show, the “You & I” hit-makers sat down with Carson Daly and revealed that their next album will be — pardon the pun — taking them in a new direction.
“I think it’s going to be a little bit more edgy, but obviously we feel like we’ve got some really good songs and we are happy,” member Niall Horan mentioned on the show. We’re not sure what ‘edgy’ means for One Direction (more teenaged angst, or maybe a hip-hop verse or two?) but we look forward to hearing what the guys come up with. Stated Liam Payne in the interview, “We’ve all taken a hand in the writing this time, and we’ve literally written almost every song.” Album no.4 from the guys can’t come soon enough!
